I am hoping that Culliver is a diamond in the rough. It would be great if he played as well or better than Peterson. But in any case he will be gaining wonderful experience and will be matching wits with the WR and Brees. So if he is respectable during the game it will be a testimony of his ability. Anybody we can get that will firm up the backfield is good in my eyes.

He did kinda lack hustle on the punt return td.-no, he DID lack hustle. When I first seen the play, I was like "cut that fool, number 29, who is that". Then I realized it was Culliver and gave him another chance

I've been down on this guy since we drafted him, but he sounds like a playmaker. Everyday in practice this kid is making INTs. I know it's practice, but he all over the place, which is uncommon from a rookie DB.

If we can get the pass rush going, someone like Culliver could be a nightmare for QBs. I'm intrigued. Baalke may have nailed it with this kid. I know it's way too early to critique a draft, but I'm optimistic about these guys.

It's still too early to judge him but it seems Baalke knows what to look for in unknown college corners. Look at Phillip Adams, T. Brock, and now this guy. Unknown players who have contributed to the team.

If Culliver,Adams & Brock all workout ok we will have ourselves a good set of young corners to take advantage of Fangio's biltzing style to make plays all over the field
